So, what does it indicate?

Constant axial alignment throughout an annual cycle and that is it.

The world should not suffer another day with silly reasoning which
tries to force a conclusion on stellar circumpolar motion using the
daily and orbital motions of the Earth and I don't blame you nor the
other empiricists insofar as that would be admitting that it is
possible for you to adapt to the 24 hour AM/PM system and the Lat/
Long system.

You don't have the slightest inkling of the damage being caused in
many areas of human endeavor and it is not so much a game that the
basic planetary facts can be buried under a blizzard of time
abbreviations and VLBI voodoo,it is that normally decent and
reasonable people don't know how to respond to this tragedy.

I never thought you in the same league as Davoud who never wastes an
opportunity to announce a 'killfile' as if it meant something,after
all,in an unmoderated newsgroup the really luxury is saying whatever
you wish without hope of a response or reaction - too unintelligent I
guess for the modern Usenet era.That being said,looking at the barren
moderated newsgroups which are like kid's treehouses,I commend
everyone who comes here and adds something.
